Cumberland Trust is an independent trust company experienced in guiding the wealth transfer process to help families protect their legacies. The firm provides comprehensive trust services, partnering with third party advisors seeking these focused services for their own clients. Cumberland Trust primarily acts as a fiduciary and trusted advisor. It provides trust and estate administration, customizing strategies to bring peace-of-mind to clients and to advisors seeking lasting solutions to not only managing fortune, but family.

Established in Nashville in 2001, Cumberland Trust originated as a response to bank trust department consolidation and turnover to provide continuity and consistency from a corporate trustee. In keeping the core of the business focused on fiduciary services, Cumberland Trust welcomes a relationship with the family’s financial and legal advisors, a collaborative approach which re-introduces choice and control to clients.

Cumberland Trust’s people-first services and open trust architecture have attracted over $4 billion in assets under administration with ten offices serving clients in 48 states.
